The point of a democratic election for president
Really, what is the point of going out to vote for president? The electoral congress is supposed to take the popular vote into consideration when placing their votes, but we have had presidents elected who didn't win the popular vote. When something like that is a possibility, what is the point? Can someone fully explain the role of the electoral congress to me that makes them so important that THEY not the people get to really choose the president?
